ELECTROHYDRAULIC ACTUATOR MARKET OVERVIEW

The global electrohydraulic actuator market size is estimated to be USD 0.25 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 0.35 billion by 2033, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.0% during the forecast period.

The advantages of hydraulic and electric technologies are combined in electrohydraulic actuators, along with their control, adaptability, and installation convenience. Applications for actuators include rotary torque arm actuators, coal mine diverter shuts, damper drives, valve actuators, and position controllers. The market for these actuators is expected to increase throughout the projected period as a result. An actuator that operates a valve using pressurised hydraulic fluid is called an electro-hydraulic actuator; however, electric power is its only energy source. ​The electric power is utilised to energise a motor, which then drives a hydraulic pump.

The pressurised fluid is then supplied to power a hydraulic actuator, which controls the control valve, because the entire system is self-contained, there is no need for a separate hydraulic power unit, which simplifies system construction, increases safety, and improves reliability. Both linear and rotary valves can be operated by an electro-hydraulic actuator that is self-contained. It has been applied in a variety of industrial applications with gate and butterfly valves. Aircraft were initially piloted by means of small aerodynamic surfaces that were manipulated by cables attached to levers that mechanically amplified the pilot's input.

Aerodynamic forces on these surfaces increased as aircraft grew in size and performance to the point where the pilot could no longer manually control them over a wide speed range because controls that were advantageous enough to control the aircraft at high speed caused the aircraft to be significantly overcontrolled at lower speeds when the aerodynamic forces were reduced. Hydraulics were introduced to address these problems. In their early incarnations, hydraulic pumps attached to the engines fed high-pressure oil through tubes to the various control surfaces. Here, small valves were attached to the original control cables, controlling the flow of oil into an associated actuator connected to the control surface. One of the earliest fittings of a hydraulic boost system was to ailerons on late-war models of the P-38L, removing the need for great human strength to achieve a higher rate of roll.

COVID 19 IMPACT

Government Regulations Regarding Pandemic to Hamper Market Growth

Due to lockdowns and other restrictions set by the relevant governing bodies in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the activities of many industries had either been temporarily stopped or were operating with a reduced workforce. Similar to other markets, the worldwide electrohydraulic actuator market is expected to experience a significant decline in revenue growth as a result of this factor. Over the course of this projection period, the high expenses related to the installation and maintenance of these machines is another factor that could restrain the revenue growth of the market.

LATEST TRENDS

Decreased Operational Expenses to Cushion Market Growth

These actuators can be used to regulate the movement of heavy machinery, manufacturing plant valves, or other industrial machinery that requires a precise force and speed. By automating the operations that personnel traditionally did manually, these technologies considerably reduce the amount of manual labour that is required. This increases efficiency and productivity while decreasing operational expenses for ship operators.

ELECTROHYDRAULIC ACTUATOR MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type; the market is divided into control type, electrohydraulic actuator and switch type electrohydraulic actuator.

In terms of product, switch type electrohydraulic actuator is the largest segment.

By Application

Based on application; the market is divided into petrochemical, metallurgy, electric power, ship, general industrial and others.

In terms of application, petrochemical is the largest segment.

DRIVING FACTORS

Use of the Actuators in Oil and Gas to Augment Market Growth

These actuators are used in oil and gas applications such wellhead control, choke/kill valves, blowout preventers (BOPs), production safety systems, and drilling management systems. They are used in the oil and gas industry to assist lower emissions and consumption. Electric actuators, which may be remotely controlled from a central point for effective operations, are used to control the production of oil and gas. As a result, operating costs can be decreased due to remote operation requiring little or no human interaction. By using less fuel, greenhouse gases like CO (carbon dioxide) that are released into the atmosphere by industrial machinery will also be reduced. This is a major factor positively influencing the electrohydraulic actuator market growth.

Adoption of the Machinery by Power Industry to Enhance Market Growth

In the power sector, actuators are used to regulate, activate, and position various machine parts. They can be utilised for automation on offshore oil platforms. When compared to its alternatives, such as servo-electric actuating systems or hydraulic cylinders with pneumatic valves, which need a lot of compressed air, electrical power, and others use a fraction of the energy.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Leakage in the Actuators to Constrain Market Growth

Not only do hydraulic systems frequently leak dangerous fluids, but they also frequently leak fluids that cause other contamination problems and inefficiencies, which could potentially harm other components of the entire application. The overwhelming amount of human support required to maintain, monitor, programme, and use hydraulic actuators, however, is their biggest drawback. The operator must decide where the positioning is acceptable and add more components as needed. The operator must also establish the precise speed for the application and dial in the required force for mid-stroke positioning.
